(meteorobs) Average Display of LEOs

[Mark Davis]

I got a little less than 6 hours observing in beginning at 2241 local and 
running all the way to sunrise. Early on some clouds were moving through, 
but after a half hour or so, it was clear the remainder of the morning. I 
was worried about fog developing as it often does along the coast this time 
of year but that never became a problem.

I saw a handful of AMOs and a smattering of Taurids - about an equal number 
from both radiants. LEOs were about average, in both brightness and number - 
never over 10/hr. as far as I can remember. I stared early to get some 
really nice ones coming up from the horizon, but did not see a single one. 
Instead, I got to watch an owl fly overhead back and forth between a patch 
of trees and the salt marsh. Seems a fair trade-off to me....

I'll be out again tonight, so updates to the website will be slow in 
coming....

Clear skies to all,

Mark
